Hey, thanks for joining us today on Pastor Rick's Daily Hope, the Bible teaching ministry of Rick Warren.

And today, we're continuing our series called The Habits of Happiness.

In this series, Rick dives into the book of Philippians and helps you discover God's path to true and lasting happiness.

All right, let's get to it.

Here's part one of a message called Five Daily Habits for Happiness.

Now, if you pull out your message notes,

and if you'll open your Bible, to Philippians chapter 3,

and we are continuing in this series that I started a few weeks ago on the habits of happiness

as we go through the book of Philippians.

And chapter three, Paul gives us another five habits of happiness.

Now all five of these you can do on a daily basis. All five of these habits

you can do during a, oh say a 15 minute quiet time where you spend alone with God. And if you

will build these five habits into your life, the happiness in your life will exponentially

grow and the unhappiness in your life will decline.

Philippians chapter 3. Let's get right into it. The first habit that Paul models

here in the first few verses is this. Every day, relax in God's grace. That's the first thing

you need to do if you want to be a happy person. Every day, relax in God's grace. That's the first thing you need to do if you want to be a happy person.

Every day, relax in God's grace. Don't try to earn God's approval. Don't try to earn his love.

Don't try to earn his recognition. You don't earn it. God is love and God loves you unconditionally.

Now, let me explain the difference between religion and a relationship.

Religion is what you do for God.

Relationship is what God has done for you.
